Comin’, Lawd, on dis job.

Cap’n, captain, will you send me some water,

Ain’t had none since dis long mornin’.

All I hate ’bout captain, Lawd,

He want to take me by de tent.

Captain, captain, do you drink co’n liquor?

“Yes, by God, but I ain’t got none now.”

Captain, captain, when you go to town,

Bring me back a God-damn dram.

Captain, captain, I won’t let on,
